BTHomeDevice

The BTHomeDevice component stands for an individual physical device identified by its MAC address. It uses BTHomeDevice as RPC namespace and has the following methods:

• BTHomeDevice.SetConfig to update the component's configuration
• BTHomeDevice.GetConfig to obtain the component's configuration
• BTHomeDevice.GetStatus to obtain the component's status
• BTHomeDevice.GetKnownObjects get a list of the known object ids from the device's packets

addr	string	MAC address of the physical device
key	string or null	AES encryption key as hexadecimal string for encrypted devices
meta	object	Object for storing meta data	ui	object	Properties of how the component will be rendered in the UI	icon	string or null	Allows setting custom icon for the component's card by providing an external hosted image via link.

Status

The status of the BTHomeDevice component contains information about its id, signal strength received with the latest packet, battery percentage of the device, the last packet id and a timestamp for when the packet is received. To obtain the status of the BTHomeDevice component its id must be specified.

Properties:

Property	Type	Description
id	number	Id of the component instance
rssi	number or null	Strength of the signal in dBms from the latest packet
battery	number or null	Device's battery percentage
packet_id	number or null	Id of the latest received packet
last_update_ts	number	Unix timestamp of the latest received packet
errors	array of type string	Component error conditions. May contain key_missing_or_bad, decrypt_failed, parse_failed and unencrypted_data.
